Rayo turned again in her bed and pulled the Ankara bed cover over her legs just in time. She had just prevented a day-old mosquito from landing on her ankle with its proboscis. She closed her eyes and tried to resume her sleep. But something was just not right and she kept on closing and opening her eyes, desperate for sleep.

Confession:
I love God with my whole heart,
I love God in the good times and even during the bad times I believe that God’s words still stand
The day gave birth to the night
The moon swagged in the air
In a world full of darkness
Light wraps me up in its flame.
My sanity drove them crazy
My purity brought them harm
They are irritated by my power
Disgusted at my move to empower.
Insult were sent, rumours was brewed
Traps were hidden in places
‘Angel on Earth’, they mocked
Jealousy has eaten deep into them.
Time flipped like pages
My eyes blindfolded with veils
Warm embrace became their culture
All I felt was their heart inflaming with rage.
Since they’ve vowed not to rest
Until they pull me down
My spirit wishes them to see
The light I carry for Christ’s sake.
I pray for grace through the storm
To shine till the very end
My message wrapped in gold is
Light like this, can’t be quenched.
